Tradition and Transition on the Seward Peninsula: Bridging the Gap Between Potential Mining Development and Indigenous Livelihoods

Alaska’s Seward Peninsula communities are at a pivotal intersection of natural resource development and Indigenous subsistence livelihoods. As the demand for graphite, a vital component in the transition towards a decarbonized economy increases, a proposal has been made to establish a large graphite...
